CAN -JACKET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 249,674, dated November 15, 1881.

Application filed October 4, 1881. (No model) To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, OHRIS'IOPH RIESSNER, of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gan-Jackets; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a central vertical section of my jacket, and Figs. 2 and 3 are details of the same.

The nature of my invention consistsin such peculiarities of construction as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In order that others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains may avail themselves of its benefits, 1 will now proceed to describe its construction.

A indicates a cylindrical casing or jacket, made of any desired size-and from any suitable sheet metal. In the sides of this jacket are open spaces, divided by bridges a a, upon which may be stamped the quantity of milk or other fluid in the inclosed can when the top of said fluid is on a level with any one of the bridges. The jacket is also preferably corrugated in order to strengthen or stiffen it.

0 represents a sheet-metal ring, which is inserted at the bottom of the cylinder A. The upper edge of this ring is turned inward, as seen at b, to form a ledge, upon which rests the can. Its lower edge is turned'outward and upward around the lower edge of the jacket, and

may then be wired in the usual manner. Atter the ringG is properly inserted, as described, a pointed punch is driven at intervals through both jacket and ring from their .outer sides, leaving a ragged edge around the .hole thus formed, and these edges are then flattened down against the inner side of the ring by another die or punch from the inside, making a finish somewhat like an eyelet, and firmly, quickly, and economically securing the ring to the jacket. The top edge of the cylindrical jacket is notched in two places, as seen at gg, and is wired in the usual way. The wire, however, at points corresponding to the notches g g, is bent upward to form ears 0 e, in which is inserted the bail B.

The jacket may, for convenience, be also supplied with a handle, it.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- I The herein-described method ofsecuring the jacket to the ring, the same consisting of placing the parts together and driving a hole through both simultaneously,then clinching or flattening the collars thus formed, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

OHRISTOPH RIESSNER.
